By Sean McDaniel: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye gave a strong suggestion that he could be facing IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko soon on July 2nd by a twitter message he left on his twitter account saying a fight with Klitschko “potentially being on the horizon.” If Haye and Wladimir do sign for a July 2nd fight, which is the only date they can fight because of Wladimir’s bout with Tomasz Admaek in September and Haye’s retirement in October, it means that Wladimir will have to pull out of his scheduled April 30th fight with unbeaten British heavyweight Dereck Chisora.

This is the same fighter that Wladimir was scheduled to fight in December last year but was unable to fight due to an abdominal injury Wladimir suffered while training in the week before the fight. This would obviously be a huge blow for Chisora to be left high and dry for a second time by Wladimir, but it has to be a possibility. The Haye fight is a much bigger fight with many more millions at stake compared to Wladimir’s tune-up fight with Chisora. On the one hand you have a mismatch between Wladimir and Chisora and on the other you have a toss up fight with Wladimir and Haye. I’m sure Chisora would be told that he can fight Wladimir at a later date, but what good is that if Wladimir loses to Haye? You know Haye won’t bother fighting Chisora if he wins, because he’ll likely be forced to fight Vitali Klitschko next. Chisora would be the forgotten man.
